UPDATE TO CANADA'S ANALYTICAL TOOL ON DOMESTIC SUPPORT  
SUBMISSION BY CANADA  
The following submission, dated 4 December 2020, is being circulated at the request of the

The attached files consist of an update to Canada's analytical tool on domestic support that was 
circulated to Members on 5 February  2019:  
 
1. Canada WTO domest ic support analytical tool – Nominal values . 
2. Canada WTO domestic support analytical tool – Percentages . 
Canada's analytical tool on domestic support consists of two Excel files which include s domestic 
support data of all 101 Members who have submitted a DS:1 notification for notification years 2001

Second consultation on the new format for import health standards for fresh fruits and 
vegetables for human consumption  
1.  Between 30 July and 19 August 2019, the N ew Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) 
consulted on a new format for import health standards (IHSs) for fresh fruits and vegetables (that 
is, commodity IHSs). The new format commodity IHSs state the requirements for importing a 
particular commodi ty from all countries that have been approved to export that commodity to New 
Zealand.  
2.  MPI reviewed the submissions from this consultation and as a result has revised the draft 
commodity IHS format. On 26 November 2019, MPI will commence a consultation to seek feedback 
on the revised draft commodity IHSs.  
3.  During this consultation, the following documents will be accessible on the MPI website at this 
link: 
• risk management proposal (RMP);  
• 121 draft commodity IHSs;  
• draft guidance document for import of fresh f ruits and vegetables; and  
• draft guidance document for clearance of fresh fruits and vegetables.  
4.  MPI encourages anyone interested in exporting or importing fresh fruits and vegetable to New 
Zealand to:  
• read the RMP which outlines the purpose and scope of th is consultation;  
• consider the readability of the new IHS format and the accompanying guidance documents; 
and 
• submit feedback by 5 p.m. on 17 January 2020.
